The video quality isn't great but you can start to see more of why he is ranked as such an elite player (other than the impressive offers).
It's interesting how he seems to be their punter... it allows them to go for the first down A LOT. Even when he does punt it away he has a 40 yd average, which is not exactly shabby. Makes me wonder if Charlie would use him in that role - maybe line him up as either the punter if we were across the 50 or alongside the punter for a possible direct-snap.
From watching him it seems what he has more than speed or power is vision and some tough-to-see moves. He just makes tacklers miss.
Great job by the staff of again getting someone that is not only a phenomenal athlete but also smart and someone with good character. Doesn't hurt that he is also the highest rated RB we have landed (potentially) in over a decade. Aldridge, Allen, Hughes, Gray, and Wood.... what a great group. |
I sucked it up today and purchased a one month membership on scout.com so I see this coveted jr video of him. I shit you not, there was not one of those plays on his highlight film. That film is pretty stacked. I would guess that he is the best athlete to come into the program since the Rocket. If you get a chance to see the video there is a run where he spins on a safety and it looks like he's being shot out of a cannon. Its absolutely amazing how he kept his feet.
